Better to burn out than to fade away, eh?
Ripped In Glasgow was initially planned as a year long project, and this seems to be the perfect place to put a full stop on it. It's been an amazing ride from the word go and I've fuckin LOVED digging out all the old records again.
There might be the occasional future post, such as a Conemelt video that's in the pipeline, and the occasional live set or radio rip so it's maybe worth keeping me in your RSS feed or whatever. I can't keep up with this (almost) daily posting though - I've got other plans for 2010.
When I started up I was hoping for maybe 100 hits or so a day, didn't think there would be much demand for 15yr old dance records but there you go - I've been averaging 1500 for the last few months which has been insane.
a HUGE thanks to the acts who have supplied me with material - PWOG, Corridor, Conemelt, Optimo, Ivan Smagghe - who'd have thought THAT would happen? Also, anyone who has ever sent me a link to other stuff, honourable mentions to the Sabres Peel Session and the PWOG tape amongst various DJ sets - you people are too good. In fact, here's one which popped in yesterday just to say 'cheerio', a Two Lone Swordsmen set from the Tiny/Further Reminders period recorded off the radio from the Voodoo, Liverpool (thanks Mark - he's even hosting it for you).
Apologies to Andrew Weatherall for ripping off a huge chunk of your back catalogue and attributing your name to a fictitious Russ Abbot remix but that's rock'n'roll I guess (and bizarrely one of my biggest 'hits').
Finally, thanks to anyone who has ever left a comment - believe me, it makes blogging much more fun when there's a bit of interaction with you lot.
So - not dead, only sleeping and will wake occasionally for a different type of blogging - who knows what's round the corner...
Happy New Year when it comes...
PS - I'll keep the links live for as long as it takes - if there are any dead ones just leave a comment and I'll re-up as necessary.
PPS - both the torrents over on the left are now WORKING again just in case anyone's after them.

32 Comments in the one day? Phew! Thanks a lot guys - much appreciated. See you at some point in the futire...
Such dedication, such gems, such meticulousness will be really & truly missed. For most of the year been lost in the wilderness of adulthood and your blog shined like no other. Thanks for making 2009 bearable. Will be on the lookout for your future Weatherall posts. Good Luck! Peace!
Best wishes for 2010 - and is that work and family at play? You've posted some great tracks that we both grew up with. The 90s was a great time for electronic music. Anyway, take it easy and all the best.
